Mrs Thatcher, never noted for her grasp of reality, even before becoming a pathetic raddled hulk of a former Tyrant and War Criminal, showed an almost psychic awareness of the current political circus we call ConDemNation.
"Clowns were no laughing matter for Lady Thatcher in 1980. Margaret Thatcher wrote a personal letter in 1980 to school pupils upset by the closure of a clown training school due to government cuts.
The letter is among 30,000 documents newly released by the Thatcher archive. The clown training school was funded by the Arts Council; the then Mrs Thatcher explained that "more people apply for grants to help with their work than we can possibly afford". But she went on to say, in a letter to pupils in Class 2 at Edgeside Church of England school, in Lancashire, via local MP David Trippier, that clowns would continue to receive public funds to some degree and "it will not mean the end of clowns performing in schools or elsewhere".
"Fecking Right it won't missus", laughed a right pair of comedians, before they got in their clown car and drove off into obscurity.
